Non Traditional Christmas Nativity

Image
By sparklingblackrose
 Good evening everyone, hope you are well! I dont know about you but in the midst of my Christmas crafting this year I became a little bored of the usual Christmas papers, embellies etc so I tried something really different and I am really pleased with the results! I stamped a Lili of the Valley stamp with Memento blue ink and left it uncoloured. I then paired this with Papermania Burleigh Blue collection for a Christmas card with a twist! Lastly I added little silver stars around my image :-) I'd love to know what you think!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Christmas at Sweet Stampin': Anything Goes
Creative Belli: Christmas
Divas By Design: Anything Goes
Rubys Rainbow: Nativity
Simon Says Stamp: Merry Christmas
Stampavie and More: Christmas
Creative Craft Challenge: Non Traditional Christmas
Cutie Pie Challenge: Cute Christmas
The Crazy Challenge: Christmas Time

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)

    I think you've made a gorgeous card. The simple palate of colours is very effective, and the image is so cute. Wouldn't it be just like a child to decide that his favourite teddy should play the part of the baby Jesus in a Nativity play?

    I think this card is beautiful! The little amount of silver just lifts it enough without taking away from the simple image you have used. Great card!

An exciting new challenge for all my crafty friends!

By sparklingblackrose
Good evening everyone, hope you are well :-) I am here to announce something new for my blog that I hope you will all get involved in! :-) I quite often make items which don't fit into a 'card or scrapbook' page category and often struggle to find places to show these in blogland. I thought I would remedy this by making a new two monthly 'Anything goes' challenge where we can all inspire each other with the different crafts we have been playing with! :-) So I mean jewellery, altered items, knitting, etc etc.

I will choose items to showcase on my blog throughout the challenge with a link to your blog to show the talent out there and hold a draw every couple of months of all the entries to win prizes-this first challenge will be sponsored by the wonderful Sarah Hurley-you can drool over all her lovely items at her etsy store here!
I encourage all of you to pop by each others blogs for some fabulous ideas, fun and mostly to meet other like minded crafters and hopeful…
